A few weeks ago I visited the Glasshouse Mountains, just to the north of Brisbane, Australia. The Glasshouse Mountains are remnants of ancient volcanic activity in the region. Now bear in mind that in Australia when we talk about mountains we're not exactly talking the Himalayas here; the Glasshouse Mountains are only a few hundred metres high and you can climb most of them without too much difficulty. As usual for me it was camera overkill, with the following images taken with my regular Micro 4/3 kit (GH1, E-PL1), as well as my Canon 50D.

Yeah mate, most of them have walking tracks, and some have rock faces that you can climb. This particular one that we climbed was Mt Ngungun; only around 250m high and not too difficult. It's best to start fairly early since the track can get busy quickly.
